How queer is that?
Did some research for Kerry today on queer Melbourne c.1928-1930. One of the pieces I read pointed out that the front of State Library of Victoria has a statue of a naked male and a statue of a cross-dressing woman flanking its main entrance.
(That would be St George and St Joan of Arc)
Never quite thought of it that way before.
"The boy and the pelican" at Fitzroy Gardens, clearly an invocation of Ganymede and Zeus (see also here), has long struck me as the queerest bit of public art in Melbourne.
